Card Mania!
Here's my first attempt at Picture Pages:My friend Jessica is crafty. She makes really cute cards. So cute, in fact, that although I have pictures of her cards, I refuse to post them because they put my attempts at cardmaking to shame. To my credit, she is much more experienced than I am, so maybe I have hope and a future after all!
Regardless of lack of talent, I am diving into a deep expanse of sea otherwise known as cardmaking. It's pretty much like scrapbooking, except you give your projects away rather than keeping mind-numbing amounts of little books that you feel compelled to show people when they come over. I really love giving and recieving great cards. In fact, I am pretty religious about throwing away anything even bordering on junk, but cards are my one exception. I have a giant box full of practically every card I've received since I was a teenager. So when Jessica introduced me to cardmaking, despite my general lack of "craftiness", I thought I'd give it a go.
I began this venture in May with Mother's Day cards (...and they were bad), then I made Father's Day cards (which were marginally better), and following is my third attempt at card making:
This one is my Mother in Law's Birthday card. She lives in a house with a great back yard for watching birds, and she has a few "pet" birds who come around a lot.
This one is made with the same paper as the previous card, but I wanted to use a few more embellishments. I have no idea who this is for.
I'm not a big fan of this one. I must have been thinking "let's use every single pattern of paper that somewhat matches"
